The Word Falling on the External Senses
Matthew 13:4
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:


Falling only upon the external senses, they are swept off by the next current; as the solid grain thrown from the sower's hand rattles on the smooth hard roadside, and lies on the surface till the fowls carry it away.

(W. Arnot.)
